Stop Slicing Your Driver…STOP AIMING THERE!

Swing Quest Golf explores how improper body alignment—specifically aiming too far left—is a leading cause of the driver slice. The instructor demonstrates how golfers instinctively open the club face to compensate for poor aim and provides a 'train track' setup drill to ensure neutral alignment and better path-to-face interaction.

• Most slices are a compensation for aiming too far left of the intended target.
• Use an intermediate target (divot or leaf) 1-2 feet in front of the ball to align the club face.
• Your body should aim parallel to the left of the target line, like a train track, not directly at the target.
• Proper stacking involves keeping knees over toes, hips over knees, and shoulders over hips.
• If you struggle with a slice, practice hitting exaggerated hooks by closing the face and aiming right to feel the opposite path.
